lately, I've seen more "who gives a shit what the plebs think" mentality out of most politicians than you can shake a stick at. I'd almost be willing to wager that he just doesn't care...
on a side note, I like that the first post here is a direct copy and paste of the second post in the discussion on the actual article's site. That's class for ya right there...
Why would he? It's not like he's actually even read the damn thing. It was most likely thrown together by a staffer, under the direction of some lobbyist group, and he's been told "support this, we donated".
That's just how things work these days... sad as that is.
How they did it is irrelevant be it reverse-engineering or reading tea leaves.
not true, read...
`(f) REVERSE ENGINEERING- (1) Notwithstanding the provisions of subsection (a)(1)(A), a person who has lawfully obtained the right to use a copy of a computer program may circumvent a technological measure that effectively controls access to a particular portion of that program for the sole purpose of identifying and analyzing those elements of the program that are necessary to achieve interoperability of an independently created computer program with other programs, and that have not previously been readily available to the person engaging in the circumvention, to the extent any such acts of identification and analysis do not constitute infringement under this title.
The DMCA specifically exempts RE for the purpose of interoperability. If Apple sues them, I believe their lawyers would be guilty of barratry. Any judge that ruled in Apple's favor should be thrown off the bench for outright ignoring a specific allowance in the law for this instance.
my strategy would be to first add some sort of uber-addictive MMORPG (which ought to be trivial) along with some other video games (subscription based, of course)
oh, you mean like SegaTV or The Sega Channel or whatever-the-hell-it-was-called? That flopped miserably, I might add...
letting them access video content on their mobile device as seamlessly as they access "video on demand" programming at home.
So how long will they wait for the cellular & PCS companies to get somewhere near up to speed to be capable of live video? And no, Sprint's bullshit 15fps mobile "tv" doesn't count.
Would you similarly welcome the disclosure of a security flaw at your bank, hospital, etc. that granted access to your private/personal records?
Actually, yes I would. I'd much rather they fix or at least stopgap the issue instead of it sitting there wide open for all to see and/or exploit for months.
but couldn't he at least have waited a few weeks to see how Cisco responds
Cisco seems to suffer from the same stupidity that most other large corporations do. They'll take a report, and sit on it for weeks, and sometimes months. Full Disclosure is usually the only way to get them to actually fix the issues in a timely manner.
Am I the only one that's noticed that Cisco has really gone downhill in the last few years? It seems that there have been more problems found in the last 2-3 years than ever. Besides, a "master password"??? What the hell are they thinking?

I have to ask: what's this guy hiding from?
I have to ask: why is it that someone that wants his privacy, and takes steps to ensure it, automatically "hiding from somthing"?
What happened to innocent until proven guilty?
I still pay $13/month for dialup
then you're paying too much. See my sig.
and when said laws are ignored, then what?
see: Geneva Convention, War Powers Act, etc
ok, and as a "former journalist" aren't you even the slightest bit concerned with the way they've been treated lately?
Law or no law, if you piss off the wrong people, you *will* suffer for it.
Remind me what country I'm living in again?
you'd think, wouldn't you?

Does it really matter if they get the same "protections" as "real" journalists?
I've seen those disregarded quite a bit lately, so where's the benefit?

But it only became "wide open" with the public disclosure of exactly how to exploit it.
c'mon... you're telling me that out of 5+ billion people on this planet, that only the person that found the exploit is the one that knows about it?
surely you're not that niaeve?

I must have missed the "master password" thing.
That was from a while back. They had set up a master "backdoor" password in a version of IOS and ended up getting ridiculed for it quite heavily.

hybrids power down when stuck in traffic, which is why city MPG are often higher than highway, unlike every other car
in-town driving is also a lot of stop-and-go, and regenerative braking helps out a lot in those situations as well.

you were saying?
In fact, when was the last time ham radio was used in an emergency situation because other modes of communications were down?
9/11
Hurricanes last year
etc
it's used a LOT more than you realize
hey man, I'm just pointing out that it's not a great idea to post that kinda stuff on a highly viewed site. Your safety is your own problem ;)
